I hesitate to post about Rich as I don't want him to get the wrong impression that I am interested in him. That seems to be a persistent fantasy of his, but alas, I am still and have always been a heterosexual.
Anyway, spot on, Rod. I admit I do enjoy when he goes on a posting frenzy that will get few views and no comments, with most of his content coming from obscure or lesser known far right wing websites. I always try to make sure a story I am posting about is from more than one news source and from mainstream websites, I rarely if ever link to articles on CNN or MSNBC as I know some here will not even look them because of where they are from.
I do like to point out, and often do, that his complete lack of self awareness and humility along with his constant attacks are the reason most will not engage with him. Heck, he even turns on the moderate Republicans here in the forum that more or less agree with his points. His profound use of crass putdowns and innuendos are telling, which I am sure he think are clever and witty, but are juvenile and mainly revealing of his persona, at least the one that we know.
So much for hesitating. Really Rich, the only reason I am interested in you at all is that you post on this forum and that you treat people here, who I consider my friends, albeit virtually, very badly and you have chased some very nice people away. I know you will probably never change but it is sometimes worth the effort to point this out to you. You can choose to be friendly with us who have a differing opinion than you, or you can be a jerk. You usually choose the latter.
